Question About Shimmer
Asked by theindigoeffect 7 years ago
I'm building a superfriends deck with a prison sub-theme, and I have a question concerning the aforementioned card:
All my lands are non-basic, but I realize that I can't simply name basic lands when playing Shimmer, so would I be able to name a Mountain or Maze of Ith?
How specific or non-specific do I have to be?

Would a maze be considered a land type? Maze of Ith, for example.

No, land types are noted on the card in the type area. Mountain for instance, says that it's type is "Basic Land - Mountain" which indicates that it has the land type Mountain. Steam Vents has both the Island and Mountain types, for example. If Maze of Ith had a "Maze" type, it would read "Land - Maze" in the type box.
It's very similar to creature types. Llanowar Elves for instance, has the Elf and Druid creature types.

You must select a land type with Shimmer, not a specific land, nor the name of a land card.
For Reference:
Basic land types: Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest.
Nonbasic land types: Desert, Gate, Lair, Locus, Urza's, Mine, Power-Plant, and Tower.
